February 28th, 2014
The multiple award-winning duos of Peter and Paul Okoye, famously known as P-Square have established a family oriented animated series entitled: “The Alingos.” The project is a creation from the stables P-Classic Entertainment. It is aimed at producing TV contents and animation.
“The Alingos” show was inspired by “the need to create unique content for kids and fill the vacuum in the media section”. The show aims to be the first high quality animated series from Nigeria. It will firstly run as a weekly web series, then on Television.
In anticipation for the launch of the show, they have released a teaser; an animated music video for their hit single “Unlimited”.
Phenakistoscope (1831) A phenakistoscope disc by Eadweard Muybridge (1893).The phenakistoscope was an early animation device. It was invented in 1831 simultaneously by the Belgian Joseph Plateau and the Austrian Simon von Stampfer. It consists of a disk with a series of images, drawn on radii evenly spaced around the center of the disk. Slots are cut out of the disk on the same radii as the drawings, but at a different distance from the center. The device would be placed in front of a mirror and spun. As the phenakistoscope is spun, a viewer would look through the slots at the reflection of the drawings which would only become visible when a slot passes by the viewer's eye. This created the illusion of animation.
